Hair loss

Anyone else shedding like crazy?  I know this is normal post-pregnancy, but does anyone know about how long it typically lasts?  It is driving me crazy!

I know this is when I chopped my hair off with DS, and want to do it now too. It's ridiculous. I feel like cleaning my bathroom is pointless right now. Poor LO has it all over her too. I'm constantly taking it off of her. I can't remember how long it last

Mine hasn't started yet but I've been curious about this topic as well. I already have pretty thin hair and for STMs I'm curious is it better to cut your hair short or keep it long enough to put it up to hide bald spots. Ive heard that there can be bald s

I have crazy thick, coarse, wavy hair so I've never had to deal with bald spots. My hair is significantly thinner though. I've been doing a pony because when its down its line in raining hair. Last time I got one of those cute angled bobs so it was still

I am losing so much hair that I could have made my bald father a wig several times now! It's crazy!

I keep having to call our management company's maintenance line to get them to take the cover off our shower drain and de-clog it (DH and I can't manage to clean it ourselves, and they prefer to do it *shrug*).  I feel bad the same guy has been out t

This is the one post partum thing I was dreading or I should say DH was dreading. I have long hair so he is not a fan of my shedding and getting hair all tangled in our vacuum and covering the walls of the shower.

My hair is coming out in handfuls. I keep it tied back in the day and LO is still covered in it. And I brush before taking a shower and I still get gobs of hair out when I wash it. I hope it doesn't last long. DH says I shed worse than our dog and cat.

I have super thick and coarse hair to begin with, so I was actually looking forward to a little hair loss postpartum because it was getting so unmanageable when I was pregnant.  But I have to say, it's crazy how much hair I'm losing.  It's all o
